Chapter 480

Heat haze was already rising from the Twin Swords of Zhongnan’s sword energy.

Internal energy pure from age.

They had already consumed half their internal energy.

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan saw Zhuge Mun’s resolve and exchanged glances with each other as they rushed in.

When Jin Ja-gang tried to pull his body away, Zhuge Mun firmly grabbed Jin Ja-gang’s wrist. He held it with grip strength that would crush his forearm to prevent Jin Ja-gang from fleeing.

Zhuge Mun, already blind and flowing bloody pus from his eye sockets, ground his teeth.

“Where… are you trying to run?”

Zhuge Mun used his last remaining strength with the Thousand Pound Weight technique to plant his feet in the ground.

Kwaak! Both of Zhuge Mun’s feet were planted in the ground up to his shins.

A smile filled with killing intent appeared on dying Zhuge Mun’s lips.

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan were experts who could use strong energy. Once they released strong energy, they needed no defense and had no retreat. Their offensive became even faster and stronger. Just holding him this much, Jin Ja-gang would absolutely be unable to avoid the Twin Swords of Zhongnan’s attacks!

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan swung their swords with momentum to split Jin Ja-gang in one stroke along with Zhuge Mun.

Jin Ja-gang’s eyes changed.

Zhuge Mun felt Jin Ja-gang was about to do something and shouted while holding Jin Ja-gang’s wrist even more forcefully.

“It’s useless! You’re dying together with me!”

Jin Ja-gang’s hands went pale white as blood stopped flowing. Jin Ja-gang took a big breath and concentrated internal energy in both arms.

“Kraaaaaah!”

Zhuge Mun desperately held Jin Ja-gang to the very end.

Left Mottle Sword’s sword energy came cutting through Zhuge Mun’s side. Right Frost Sword’s sword energy flew toward Zhuge Mun’s opposite waist. The sword energy shone its maximum light and lengthened. If pushed through like this, Jin Ja-gang would be divided into three pieces along with Zhuge Mun.

Tendons emerged on Jin Ja-gang’s jaw. His hair stood on end. Blood vessels protruded prominently from both shoulders, traveling down his forearms to the wrists that Zhuge Mun was gripping.

He couldn’t shake off Zhuge Mun’s hands. However, he had no intention of shaking them off in the first place. Rather, he applied more force to press down on Zhuge Mun’s head.

“Kraaah!”

Zhuge Mun screamed in a voice that was unclear whether it was a shout or scream. Crackling sounds came from Zhuge Mun’s head.

“Kraah! Kraaaah!”

Zhuge Mun’s head was crushed and shook violently.

Jin Ja-gang’s eyes opened completely round.

Crack!

Bloody pus and brain matter burst and poured onto Left Mottle Sword and Right Frost Sword. At the same time, their sword energy swept through Zhuge Mun’s body. Zhuge Mun’s headless upper body, waist, and lower body moved separately.

No matter how expert they were, they couldn’t keep their eyes open calmly in poison-mixed bloody pus.

“Heok!”

“Kuk!”

Left Mottle Sword and Right Frost Sword closed one eye and turned their heads the opposite way to avoid the pouring bloody pus.

Swoosh!

Jin Ja-gang burst out from between the fragments of bloody pus and struck the Twin Swords of Zhongnan’s faces with twin palms.

Popang!

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan staggered and stopped as if frozen.

“Urgh!”

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan glanced at Jin Ja-gang with expressions of disbelief. A needle was lodged in each of their temples. They couldn’t even open the eye on the side where the needle was lodged.

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan pulled out the needles with trembling hands. The places where the needles were pulled from swelled and pus began forming in the holes. Petals of Extinction Flower began forming and spreading from the areas where the needles lodged.

Since they could see each other’s appearance with the opposite eye, the Twin Swords of Zhongnan knew well what had happened to them.

Jin Ja-gang looked at them with cold eyes and walked forward.

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan hesitated and stepped backward.

Those who drew out sword energy… were retreating!

Shiiiii, shiii!

The heat haze rising from the Twin Swords of Zhongnan’s sword energy intensified and the light of the sword energy rapidly diminished.

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan stopped retreating and gritted their teeth.

Asura Blood had entered through their heads, and the flower of death called Extinction Flower had begun blooming, so survival was hopeless.

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan still couldn’t open one eye and exchanged glances with single eyes. Then they turned their heads to glare at Jin Ja-gang. Jin Ja-gang unhesitatingly continued approaching.

Like a death god.

In the martial world, the division between life and death is an instant, so why does Poison Dragon continuously go the path of life while they go the path of death?

Grind.

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan who ground their teeth drew up their lifetime’s internal energy. The dimming sword energy emitted bright light in a final death flash.

“You’re strong, Poison Dragon.”

“However, you won’t be able to escape even this. Let’s go to hell together.”

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan held their swords upright and took a deep breath with gurgling throats, then tilted their bodies back slightly and pulled their feet.

They planned to kick off in an instant and burst forward with arc body flash shadow to deploy a mutual destruction technique.

But the moment the Twin Swords of Zhongnan leaned back slightly, Jin Ja-gang extended both arms first.

Urk!

The caught-off-guard Twin Swords of Zhongnan kicked off belatedly and burst forward.

“Die!”

However, the Asura Scripture extended from Jin Ja-gang’s hands was faster.

Asura World Annihilation Soul! Asura Scripture whirled wildly. Asura Scripture continuously collided with the Twin Swords of Zhongnan’s sword energy. Sparks flew and smoke rose, becoming so thick nothing was visible.

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan’s sword energy was shaved away and diminished, then the light extinguished in an instant.

The swords of the Twin Swords of Zhongnan whose sword energy disappeared were cut into chunks by Asura Scripture. The Twin Swords of Zhongnan whose swords disappeared had entrusted their bare bodies to Asura Scripture that cut countless times.

The bodies of the Twin Swords of Zhongnan caught in Asura Scripture’s net trembled greatly. In the blink of an eye, blood exploded and burst in all directions.

A thick blood storm… a blood mist was created.

The forms of the two disappeared without a trace.

Only Jin Ja-gang stood in place.

Jin Ja-gang enveloped in toxic fog looked at the Righteous Alliance martial artists.

“…”

“…”

The Righteous Alliance martial artists who hadn’t yet crossed the death line stiffened.

Limp!

When Jin Ja-gang took one step, the Righteous Alliance martial artists were horrified and stepped back four steps.

Hudadadak!

The Righteous Alliance martial artists swallowed dry saliva. They were still hundreds, and there were more personnel below the mountain, but they didn’t know if they could stop Jin Ja-gang.

“He’s also injured… He took damage.”

Someone spoke from among the martial artists.

As those words said, Jin Ja-gang wasn’t intact either after being struck in several places.

Drip drip.

Asura Blood protruding from Jin Ja-gang’s body fell to the ground and some vaporized to become toxic fog.

Even his breathing was rough.

Jin Ja-gang sent his gaze toward where the sound came from.

One person shouted.

“Don’t be afraid! He’s bluffing right now! If we all attack together, he’ll die too!”

Jin Ja-gang kicked up a fragment of a sword that had fallen on the ground, then caught it with his fingers. Then he conspicuously raised his arm and took a posture to throw the fragment.

Jin Ja-gang warned.

“Stay as you are.”

Jin Ja-gang slowly leaned his shoulders back, then threw the sword fragment forward. At that moment, the Righteous Alliance martial artists in front of Jin Ja-gang split left and right.

“Uh!”

When those blocking disappeared, the appearance of the one who had incited the martial artists was clearly revealed.

Pok. With a light impact sound, the sword fragment deeply embedded into his head. The martial artist staggered with an aggrieved face and said.

“I-I didn’t even cross the death line…”

Jin Ja-gang answered coldly.

“Your words crossed.”

The martial artist died face down with an aggrieved expression to the end.

When Jin Ja-gang even judged voices, the Righteous Alliance martial artists’ fear reached its peak. Even breathing sounds subsided.

Yet they couldn’t flee in fear, so they just retreated little by little and merely watched the situation quietly.

In the current situation, the only escape route was Baek Li-jung. Only if Baek Li-jung defeated Namgung Rak and dealt with Jin Ja-gang could they do anything.

Then.

A stifled voice rang out.

“Kuk!”

It was Namgung Rak’s groan.

Namgung Rak’s hands and feet were becoming disordered.

The Namgung Family disciple guarding Namgung Rak’s back fidgeted restlessly.

Baek Li-jung pressed Namgung Rak and said.

“Shall I tell you again! By now, the Great Buddha should be heading toward the Namgung Family!”

That was the reason Namgung Rak’s hands and feet became disordered.

The Namgung Family passed through this rebellion situation without much trouble. That was because Sword King Namgung Rak was firmly standing in the family.

However, conversely speaking, now with the family unguarded, the Namgung Family was in its most dangerous situation.

It was hard to think Shaolin Temple would do such a cowardly thing.

However, considering how much of an eyesore the Namgung Family’s existence was, now was also the perfect opportunity to subdue the Namgung Family.

“If only you die, I’ll spare the Namgung Family! But if you resist, the Namgung Family won’t have a single foundation stone left! How about it, dying obediently!”

Baek Li-jung shouted toward the Namgung Family disciple.

“Cut down the Sword King! Do that and I’ll spare the Namgung Family.”

The Namgung Family disciple sweated profusely from his entire body and struggled.

“Don’t talk nonsense! Our Namgung Family…!”

Baek Li-jung had the upper hand in the fight with Namgung Rak and had leisure. He diverted his surplus strength to attack the Namgung Family disciple. The Namgung Family disciple drew out sword energy to resist, but the level gap with Baek Li-jung was very large. Unable to endure three seconds, the sword energy shattered. The Namgung Family disciple’s shoulder flew away along with his chest from Baek Li-jung’s following palm strike.

“Yeong-ah!”

Namgung Rak was enraged.

“You bastard!”

Namgung Rak’s Absolute Slow Sword was a martial art requiring maximum composure. As his heart continuously shook and became hasty, Namgung Rak’s hands and feet became more disordered.

For experts, psychological shock burdens the body. When unable to control massive internal energy, it returns intact as a blade.

Especially Divine Ladle River Sword had the function of endlessly continuing internal energy, but conversely since internal energy flowed ceaselessly, the danger of internal energy rampage increased if not properly controlled.

Baek Li-jung exploited the weakness of Divine Ladle River Sword and drove Namgung Rak to the extreme.

Jararak!

The two swords intertwined, but Namgung Rak’s Divine Ladle River Sword shook unstably. Baek Li-jung forcefully shook off Heavenly Vermilion Sword. Divine Ladle River Sword’s blade bounced and bent, grazing Namgung Rak’s cheek.

At the same time, Baek Li-jung launched Roaring Song Splitting Wail Palm at Namgung Rak’s chest.

Crack!

Namgung Rak was struck in the chest by Baek Li-jung’s Roaring Song Splitting Wail Palm and was sent flying. His ribs completely caved in. While trying to forcibly maintain posture and endure, unable to overcome the force of Roaring Song Splitting Wail Palm, he twisted his foot and his ankle broke.

One side of Baek Li-jung’s mouth rose long. Saliva drooled greedily between his fangs.

Baek Li-jung’s eyes flashed as he rushed toward Namgung Rak.

However, Baek Li-jung couldn’t definitively finish off Namgung Rak. He launched his body into the air to avoid flying poison needles.

Jin Ja-gang approached Namgung Rak.

“If you want to return alive, calm down.”

Namgung Rak glared.

“You think I can calm down right now!”

Jin Ja-gang said.

“Didn’t you just hear? The Great Buddha is heading to the Namgung Family.”

Grrrind.

Namgung Rak ground his teeth in frustration.

“Then what do you want me to do now!”

“You have to go alive. That was the plan from the start.”

Jin Ja-gang helped Namgung Rak up.

Baek Li-jung stood in one spot of the ruined ground glaring at Jin Ja-gang and Namgung Rak, still with sores forming on half his face and grinning with his mouth torn like an evil spirit.

That was definitely a side effect of using the Calamity Slaying Demon Spirit’s internal energy. But why didn’t it react to Jin Ja-gang’s internal energy earlier?

Jin Ja-gang felt a strange sensation for a moment.

He immediately liberated all dikes inside and called up the Calamity Slaying Demon Spirit. He released the Calamity Slaying Demon Spirit without controlling it and stood by.

The Calamity Slaying Demon Spirit seemed bewildered for a moment, then soon freely moved through Jin Ja-gang’s blood vessels. Blood vessels protruded in tufts on Jin Ja-gang’s face and arms.

A maddening appetite arose. Terrible hunger made his eyes spin tautly.

Jin Ja-gang didn’t suppress it. He left it alone. It was painful. The Calamity Slaying Demon Spirit suffered in exhaustion from hunger and cried out. Jin Ja-gang who entrusted his body to the Calamity Slaying Demon Spirit also howled.

“Kyaaaaaaah!”

Baek Li-jung reacted without realizing it. He stood all his hair on end and shouted with his true face.

“Kiyaaaaah!”
